Since 2003, I began my career as a literary translator. I have so far translated over 50 English books into Korean. The books span various topics: IT, management, marketing, visual art, economics, business, artificial intelligence, photography, politics, finance, education, psychology, history, religion, journalism, self-help, philosophy, anthropology, English writing, essay, literature and so forth. I have also worked as a freelancer E-K translator for Oracle University for 7 years, and I have worked several translation projects for, say, Pantone (color system), Jacquard Products (dyestuff), Karin markers, LG Sonic (algae control) and some magazines. I have also played as a text editor, reviser, rewriter for several publishing houses. I have run translator training programs since 2007. I am leading a small translating team now. I promise you to make clear and elegant Korean translations.
